Meenopliid bug

A weird little bug from the order Hemiptera, species Phaconeura proserpina. I created this mode based on scan data. The final model was 3D printed by CDM Studio for an exhibit at the Western Australian Museum. I love how freaky this thing is. Its one of those tiny specs on a leaf that you rarely ever notice but it shares this universe with you. Life is freaky.
